.Caitlyn_Jenner refuses to acknowledge University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a champion.
Jenner, a onetime Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete, applauded Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's recognition of the University of Virginia's Emma Weyant, a native Floridian, as the best women's swimmer in the 500-yard freestyle.
— Caitlyn Jenner March 22, 2022 "[Thomas] is also not good for women's sports," Jenner previously said on Fox News."It's unfortunate that this is happening. I don't know why she’s doing it. She knows when she's swimming she's beating the competition by two laps. She was born as a biological boy. She was raised as a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger. Her respiratory system is bigger.""Her hands are bigger. She can swim faster.
The Republican governor challenged the win Tuesday and declared Weyant, who finished second behind Thomas, the real champion.
